Curriculum Adaptations for Students With Learning And Behavior Problems: Differentiating Instruction to Meet Diverse Needs Book

Hoover (education, U. of Colorado, Boulder) and Patton (special education adjunct, U. of Texas, Austin) describe adapting curricula to the needs of students with mild to moderate learning and behavior problems. They describe the fundamentals of curricula and curriculum adaptation, inclusive education, needs and ways to meet those needs, and collaboration in making and developing adaptations. They include templates for quick screenings of students and curricular adaptations and show how the two interrelate, and give practical advice on implementation in the classroom. For this edition they have added chapters on standards-based curricula and special needs of learners of the English language. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
